How To Reclaim Your Body and Become Besties w/Food with Nutrition Therapist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Alissa Rumsey

Hey dudes! This week we interviewed Alissa Rumsey, who is a registered dietitian, nutrition therapist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and the author of Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace With Food and Transform Your Life. Alissa is passionate about advocating for women to reclaim the space to eat and live unapologetically. This conversation was really insightful to both of us! We wanted to speak about a topic that too many of us know so much about--our relationship to food and our bodies in a way that’s fun, and interesting, and encouraging. Alissa is the founder of Rumsey Nutrition and Wellness, a weight-inclusive nutrition practice that offers virtual counseling and online programs to help people liberate themselves from dieting, cultivate a peaceful relationship to food and their bodies, and live a more authentic, connected life. To learn more about Alissa, visit her website www.alissarumsey.com, or check out her Instagram @AlissaRumseyRD. Be sure to pre-order her book Unapologetic Eating, available in February 2021!

How To Find Yourself By Building Community, and Healing Trauma in Border-Communities with Acupuncturist and Humanitarian Jacqueline Arellano

Today we’re speaking with an incredible woman, humanitarian, and Acupuncturist Jacqueline Arellano. She is a badass who Alix met via a beauty forum a few years ago, and we have been dying to speak with her this season! Jacqueline is a lifelong humanitarian who grew up in California within communities that border Mexico. As the child of Mexican immigrants, Jacqueline was raised with these communities being an extension of her own, always looking to help Americans who endure the dangerous and long journey through the desert, escaping the horrors and unlivable conditions from which they fled in the hopes of having a chance at life. (As an aside, I have many Latinx friends who constantly remind me that the United States is not the only country on the American Continent and that technically, we are all American. Amen!) Today Jacqueline donates her Acupuncture services to the non-profit Border Kindness, whose mission is to provide asylum-seekers, migrants, refugees, and the displaced with comprehensive services that include food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and legal services. She also leaves food, water, and supplies in the desert for people still in the middle of their journey. This interview was incredibly eye-opening for both Alix and I, and we think it will be for you too!
